I like those, and the Si is quite quick. It is a shame we don't get them, considering Honda offered quite a few coupes here in the 90s.

Just saw one of these in traffic today:



Lancia Kappa Coupé. Based on a shortened version of the Alfa 166 platform, and available with the Busso V6 or the Fiat 20V 5-cylinder turbo. Just over 3000 were built, essentially by hand.

I like these, but the exceedlingly handsome Rover 800 Coupe is a more resolved design if you want a commercially unsuccesful 90s coupe with turbocharged and V6 options. The Lancia has a too short wheelbase and long overhangs. and looks rather overbodied.

I'd like to think when Alan hangs up his headphones at North Norfolk Digital, he'll seek out one of these as a modern classic. Complete with a retro Motorola Timeport and tan string back gloves for extra purchase.

I saw this yesterday morning at a classic car meet and knew exactly what it was.

But I doubt too many people would recognise a Fiat 130!

Extra Brownie points if you know what this is.

Begging for a 600cc motorcycle engine, that's what that is.

I do, but then Mum had an Argenta when I was a kid, so I knew about some of the big Fiats.

I don't know about bedtime; she'd be getting the bus home if she stood on my car like that.

Ah yes, as mentioned in the Spice Girls hit:

Colours of the world
Spicup your life
Every boy and every girl
Spicup your life
People of the world
Spicup your life

I’ve got one! Rather than just commenting on some of the superb finds on this thread....
I give you the Lexus ES300h.
No... hang on... Come back!


Looks like it’s the Lexus Camry. I’m sure it will be totally un-ph-worthy. It even manages to avoid the low company car BIK rates of the competition

I saw one recently, and was going to post it on here. Then I immediately forgot about it until your post. Not offensive in any way, just very vanilla.

SsangYong Korando DMZ special edition. A variant produced for Korea (comes in white initially) and then after demand imported to the UK. Saw one in the flesh this week!

And how much in proper folding stuff is SsangYong prepared to pay someone permanently to take one off their hands?
